Fan arrested for bomb threat
A 41-year-old man was charged Sunday with calling in a fake bomb threat at The Palace two hours before Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
David Mathew-Anthony Demeres was charged with two felonies -- making a false report of terrorism and making a false report of a bomb threat, police said. He was arraigned Sunday and released on $15,000 cash bond.
Demeres is from Lapeer, about 25 miles from Auburn Hills. There was no telephone listing for him in the area.
The threat was made before Saturday night's game between the Detroit Pistons and Miami Heat. The caller said a bomb would go off if the game were played.
A crude, one-paragraph contract has led to Ifeanyi Ohalete, plaintiff, vs. Clinton Portis, defendant, on the docket for civil trial Tuesday in a district court in Maryland. Simply put: Ohalete wants the $20,000 he feels he is owed for giving Portis the jersey No. 26 when both were members of the Washington Redskins in 2004.
"It's certainly what we expect," Ohalete's attorney, John Steren, said today. "It's certainly what we're demanding."
British Open gets record entry total
The 2005 British Open received a record 2,499 entries from golfers eager to play in the 134th edition of the oldest major tournament at St. Andrews, the so-called home of golf.
With 101 of the 156 places already allocated, and as many as 15 further berths guaranteed to exempt players, the hopefuls will compete in a series of qualifiers for the last 40 Open slots. The previous record of 2,481 entrants was set for the 2000 event, also held at St. Andrews, Scotland, tournament organizer the Royal & Ancient Golf Club said in an e-mailed statement today.
Duke's Randolph leans toward return
Shavlik Randolph expects to return to Duke for his senior season.
"My intentions are to come back to Duke because I think we'll have a chance to do something special next year," Randolph said Monday. "I don't want to rule out any options, but that's been my intention all along.
"When I am not working out, I am back in Raleigh and back in Durham and still in communication with all the coaches and players."
Randolph said he'll likely wait until the June 20 deadline to make a final decision about staying in the NBA draft or going back to school. -- Sun wire services
